Out Of Character
- Respect: Probably the most important rule of the site. Respect your fellow members, respect the staff, and respect the guests. If you have any problems, please do not argue or fight with the other members on the site. Send a PM to an admin, and we will help deal the situation.
- Have Fun: The goal of this site if for everyone to have a fun time here. Please enjoy your time here, and let others enjoy their time as well. Be nice and respectful to everyone!
- PG-13: This site is rated PG-13. This is ProBoards rule, and the site can get shut down for not following this rule. Please keep swearing and violence to a minimum, and NO sexual content of any kind.
- One Character Per Account: Every time you would like to create a new character, you must create a new account. You can use this nifty little thing from Proboards to link all Proboards account you have. It's very handy if you have multiple characters and jump between them when you're posting on the site.
- Creating a Second/Third/Ect. Character: Before you can create your second, third, whatever character you must have at least 15 to 30 in character posts.
- Signature Sizes: We currently to not have a specific size for signature banners, but if they stretch the computer screen you will be asked to resize it or get rid of it.
- Avatars: Avatar sizes are 100x100 Pixels.
- C-Box: All site rules apply in the C-Box. Please no spamming, no fighting, and no ads.
In Character
- Word Count: One Little Spark requires a 300 word count in every role-playing post. This can be exempt in special circumstances, and members will be notified during events that will have no word count in place.
- Third Person: All posts must be in the third person. For example: You would post, "Shane went to the store." instead of, "I went to the store."
- Proper Spelling & Grammar: Everyone makes mistakes, but please try to have consistently good spelling and grammar. Proboards comes with a spell check button right next to the post message button, so please take the time to use it!
- No God-Modding: God-modding, or taking control of someone else's character without their permission is not allowed.
- PG-13: I'm repeating this rule because this board can be shut down if you do not follow it. No sexual content on the site, and please keep swearing and violence to a minimum.
- Character Interaction: Don't feel like you need to only interact with characters from the same movie as yours. Please be creative with your plots, and role-play with as many people as possible. If Ariel falls in love with Prince Charming instead of Prince Eric, it's not a big deal.
- Activity: Activity checks will happen every so often to find out who is posting on the site, and who isn't. Try to post In Character at least a few times a month, if not a few times a week. Inactive characters will be deleted, so other members have the chance to claim them.
Application
- Do Not Alter The Application Template: We have a template so it's easy for you to fill out an application. Please don't alter it at all, or your application will be denied.
- Character & Face Claims: Character claims & face claims last for 5 days. After your character is accepted, please go back and post the claims again, so they can be added to the permanently claimed list.
- Approval Of Application: Please do not be posting in the site (outside of Out Of Character areas, Character and Face Claims, and if you have questions) until your application is accepted. Besides, shouldn't you be working on finishing your application before you start posting in other places on the site?
The Rules are subject to change at any time deemed necessary by the staff. Members will be notified of any rule changes during their time at One Little Spark.
